The House of Bruce is a listing of several different branches of the Bruce family
that first begins with the "presumed" ancestors from Norway to France, England,
Scotland, Ireland and abroad. This listing covers mostly the present day House
of Bruce in Scotland who are descendants of Thomas Bruce
the first Baron of Clackmannan who was of the same Scottish family as King
Robert The Bruce. It is assumed that most Bruces across the globe today are of
the Scottish line that began with this Thomas Bruce of Clackmannan who was a descendant
of the de Brus family of Brix in Normandy (Northern France). To scientifically
prove that all BRUCEs today are of one family please read the Y-DNA
research project on this site for more information as it lists many present
day Bruces with over 110 DNA matches and some of their lineages.

These quick links represent either a
title (i.e. Earl of Elgin) or of a place in Scotland (i.e. of Clackmannan).
For ease of use and place, some are labeled Bruce of (i.e. Cultmalindie in ...county
of.... Perth)

Edward became King Of Ireland

ROBERT

of Annandale, King of Scots, was born on July 11 (some records say 12th)
1274 and died on June 7, 1329. He married, 1st Isabel of Mar, who died in
1297, they had one daughter Marjorie. How many illegitimate children he
had is not known, but many sources claim he had a few, one being Robert
who later became Robert of Clackmannan, see below.

Stewart, aka King Robert II.

King of Scots, was born on March 5, 1324 and died in 1371. He married,

second, to Margaret Drummond (no heirs). The title passed to his sister
Marjory and husband Walter, 6th High Steward of Scotland, son Robert Stuart,
Robert II. The present day House of Windsor is descended from this line.
David Bruce, made deed to his "nephew" (which could mean cousin as well)
a Thomas Bruce of Clackmannan, see below.

Clackmannan

1320

Sir Thomas Bruce, 1st Baron of
Clackmannan married Marjorie Charteris of Stenhouse. Received the lands
of Clackmannan from his cousin King Robert II as a reward for which he was
granted for organising a rising against English rule in 1334. He died in
1358/9.

Note: Many Bruces today descend from many of these family branches,
that started with this Thomas Bruce. It is questionable as to who Thomas'
father was. Some say from King Robert's brother Edward's son Thomas, others
say from Robert Bruce a cousin or illegitimate son of King Robert and
some say another Thomas Bruce of Clackmannan (nephew of King David Bruce).
Whichever it may be, we will never know for sure. However, he was a descendant
of the Scottish Bruces.
